Yes, I did, but couldn't coerce it to do what I wanted, where the JSON tag is the source-of-truth, not the Go field name.
Others are welcome to try to get the same results as this PR if you wish, but I was unable to.

OK, @alexandear, then I will mark this PR as "DO NOT MERGE" until you are able to get comparable results with tagliatelle.

I may add an option about that. Don't hesitate to open an issue https://github.com/ldez/tagliatelle.

Note, @alexandear - that your PR should make NO breaking API changes (as I have done here), but instead should flag inconsistencies with
// TODO: ...
(as I've also done) so that they can be addressed in separate "Breaking API Change" PRs.The majority of the existing inconsistencies are actually due to agreed-upon discussions where the renaming was deemed to be clearer for end-users of this client library (although you can see that I flagged many with
TODO
to investigate as some appear to be mistakes).
